Blackstar Debut 100R 1 x 12-inch 100-watt Combo Amp – Black

Make Your Debut with Blackstar’s 100-watt Behemoth

Boasting 100 watts of solid-state cleans and tube-inspired overdrive, the Blackstar Debut 100R represents a rock-solid pedal platform that’s just as capable in the studio as it is up onstage. The Debut 100R’s 12-inch custom-designed Blackstar speaker, all-analog design, and built-in 2-mode reverb produce shimmering full-range clean tones. However, a swift swap into the MOSFET-enabled overdrive channel unlocks raw, rich, and saturated dirty tones to rival even the most renowned tube amplifiers. What’s more, the Debut 100R comes equipped with a host of utility features, including a line-in for jamming along to practice tracks, a speaker-emulated line-out for silent recording/practice, and power scaling down to five watts to reduce your volume to conversation levels without comprising on your tone. It all adds up to a mighty 100-watt workhorse, combining plug-and-play simplicity with versatile Blackstar sonics.

MOSFET preamp for hot tube-style tones

For players who prefer the lush, warm sound of a clean electric guitar, solid-state can often serve as a superior solution — it’s long been the de-facto standard in many jazz guitar circles for a reason. However, replicating the raw, dynamic feel of a front-loaded tube amplifier has historically proved difficult for amplifiers without a set of glowing glass tucked away inside the cabinet. Thankfully, the Blackstar Debut 100R offers the best of both worlds, sporting a 2-channel design with a built-in MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) preamp that produces dirty tones nearly indistinguishable from a traditional tube amp. Simply swap to the overdrive channel to access rich, saturated tube-style dirt tones that beautifully replicate the feel and touch-sensitive response of the world’s most iconic tube amplifiers!

Infinite Shape Feature dials in your drive tones

The all-analog Blackstar Debut 100R packs a massive spread of tones by virtue of Blackstar’s Infinite Shape Feature (ISF). When turned fully counterclockwise, you’ll lend an American characteristic to your voice, with a tight bottom end and aggressive middle range. Turned all the way to the right, you’ll enjoy more of a British vibe with a woodier sound that’s less aggressive. However you dial in the Debut 100R, you’ll enjoy a musical response that commands attention.
